Carrie Fisher of Star Wars fame stops breathing on board a non-stop London-Los Angeles flight

Carrie Fisher (60) of Star Wars fame suffered a massive heart attack and stopped breathing for 10-munutes while on board an 11-hour transatlantic flight from London to Los Angeles. Her daughter Billie Lourd (24) rushed to her bedside as Carrie battles for her life in intensive care.
Carrie Fisher has been put on ventilator.
This has been reported in dailymail.co.uk dated 24 December 2016.

Prior to landing at LAX, the pilot of United Airlines Flight 935 had informed the control tower that passengers aboard the plane were helping an 'unresponsive passenger,' but did not name who it was. Fortunately, one of the passengers, a trained nurse, rushed to the aid of Fisher who is best known for her role as Princess Leia in the Star Wars franchise.
She had shed 35 lbs before playing Princess Leia in last year's Star Wars film, The Force Awakens.
Carrie's medical emergency occurred about 15 minutes before landing and it is understood that paramedics worked on her for another 15 minutes before they were able to get a pulse. She was traveling home for Christmas after having spent the last few weeks promoting her new memoir, called The Princess Dairies.
